We’re on a mission to gather as many success stories as possible about the use of integrative pain management. Our hope is that real patient stories will provide encouragement — and relief — for others who struggle with pain. Whether you’re a person with pain, or a clinician who treats people with pain, we want to hear about your experiences.

It was decided through a non-financial agreement between the Center for Practical Bioethics and the Academy of Integrative Pain Management to transfer the PAINS Project, its resources and collateral materials to AIPM as of August 1, 2018.
